Looks like Ottawa got about 9cm yesterday with another 5 to 10 today. Looking out the window it doesn't look like 9cm but a lot of it melted on contact as the ground is so warm and the temp is just below zero. Big warmup on the weekend so snow will likely be completely gone by Saturday.
I had to come into downtown Ottawa for something work-related today and there is quite a difference in the amount of snow in the CBD and in my part of Gatineau.

Some sun and blue skies earlier in the day but by the time I got out mid-afternoon there was a light overcast.
Dry, brisk, breezy and noticeably cooler today.
Woke up to the sound of lawn mowers today. Absolutely gorgeous, 14 and sunny

After a grim wet overcast week in Toronto, I escaped to St Jacobs, Millbank and Stratford this afternoon: sunny blue skies, snowdrops, crocuses daffodils etc in bloom. Walked around the entire "waterfront" trail and downtown Stratford as well as many km on G2Gtrail. Then a scenic drive cutting southeast through Haysville, New Dundee, Glen Morris, Rockton, Waterdown and the QEW back to Toronto as the sunset off the HBS towers.
Outside of Linwood on a rural gravel road, I saw an Old Order Mennonite with a horse pulling a wagon across a field, to go rock picking perhaps? Suddenly the horse keeled over and died. Freaky!
The Dave Martin Mennonites and their extended families were hustling today, almost inspirational their work ethic getting shitty shit done (mostly by hand, although yes it's always amusing watching the 1980s tractor/skidsteer brigade cheat their God.)
So SA were apparently offended by the Gaelic term for fairies, Brownies (which has nothing to do with India and the name change should be revoked) yet love opening Mary Browns chicken franchises. Unlike Indian food, MB is very bland "white people" chicken ha. Why not create an Indian-inspired fast food chain of curry-flavored fried chicken, burger patties stuffed into Naan with cilantro, chutney mayo and paneer, served with curry fries and Maaza?

We've got a chain here in Vancouver called Chicken World which was started and owned by a Pakistani immigrant. It's kind of doing what you're talking about. It's been pretty successful throughout Metro Vancouver.
